Australian Ashes Squad Named

The Australian selectors have named their 16 man squad for the Ashes which features seven batsmen, seven bowlers and two wicket keepers.

The squad announced was pretty predicable with the same 13 from the New Zealand tour being selected plus Brad Haddin, Shaun Tait and Stuart MacGill rounding off the 16 men named.

With Darren Lehmann missing out on selection again it all but puts an end to his international career.

The ODI squad for the Natwest ODI Series was also named and can be viewed below while the full tour schedule can be viewed here.
